Our work
Case studies, plus the wider gallery.
Two ways to see what we do. Case studies walk through specific commissions -- the brief, the fabrics, the construction and the outcome -- and are the right place to start if you are specifying a job. The gallery is a wider browse of finished pieces from homes, venues, vehicles and the workshop.
Case studies
11 project write-ups.
Specific commissions explained -- ergonomics, foam stack, fabric reasoning, install. The right surface for designers, specifiers and trade buyers de-risking a brief.
